Social work is often presented as a benevolent and politically
neutral profession, avoiding discussion about its sometimes
troubling political histories. This book rethinks social work’s
legacy and history of both political resistance and complicity with
oppressive and punitive practices. Using a comparative approach
with international case studies, the book uncovers the role of
social workers in politically tense episodes of recent history,
including the anti-racist struggle in the US and the impact of
colonialism in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. As the
de-colonisation of curricula and the Black Lives Matter movement
gain momentum, this fascinating book skilfully navigates social
work’s collective political past while considering its future.
